Abstract

"Quibus Sacrae Scripturae dispositio, seu artificium et vis atque ratio, in tabulis velut ad viuum exprimitur, & ità ob oculos ponitur, vt non modò absolutissimam complectantur vniuers[a]e theologi[a]e summam atque methodum, sed commentarij etiàm vice haberi queant. : Opus magno studio et labore congestum, et ad solidam diuinarum literarum cognitionem, artemq[ue] cælestis philosophiæ rectè perdiscendam accomodatissimum : quod non iniuria quis vel auream Catenam, vel Clauem dicat totius doctrinæ Christianæ."

Georg Eder (1524-1587) was one of the instrumental Counter-Reformation lay figures in the North. The first work is a theological survey of the Bible with annotations drawn from many theologians and Fathers of the Church such as Canisius, St. Gregory Nazianzus, Nicholas of Lyra, St. Bede, Origen, Michael Medina, and many others.
